GameIndustry.Biz Interview: Valve's Doug Lombardi - In the Works

Phil Elliot of GameIndustry writes: Last week Valve announced that its online community and digital distribution platform, Steam, had surpassed 15 million users. Not long before that the company announced that it would be releasing a set of development tools called Steamworks, enabling the use of auto-updating, copy-protection and other such devices - for free.

Here Doug Lombardi, Valve's marketing director, explains that decision and talks about the company's commitment to independent game development.
